Name: Husayn Rosowsky.
Age: 21.
Event: Fencing.
Location: ExCel Arena, Docklands.
Time: July 28 – August 5.
Local link: A second year mathematics student at the University of Greenwich.
Career best: He is the current British foil champion.
Career high: Representing Britain in the European championships in Italy this summer.
Sporting background: Husayn began fencing at the age of seven and has previously competed in the cadet world championships and British junior championships.
He says: I’m not here just to make up the numbers, I fence because I want to win and there’s no bigger prize than an Olympic medal.
We say: Only two Brits qualified in fencing, the rest (including Husayn) are only there because we are the host nation.
It would be a massive shock if he makes the podium.
